The 2020 General Election will be the first opportunity for many young Americans to cast their vote, including the Rapids rising star Cole Bassett.
Bassett, 19, was born and raised in Colorado, and his enthusiasm around making his voice heard for the first time in an election is palpable.
“I think it’s important because every vote counts,” Bassett said. “It’s better off for our country if we pay attention to what’s going on and make our voices heard.”
Bassett chose to use the ballot sent to him by the state to cast his vote via mail.
